Louis XV gold 1/2 Louis d'or 1769-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM517.1, Fr-465, Gad-330. Vibrant reflectivity in the fields imparts superb eye-appeal, with few marks, other than the pre-strike planchet adjustments, appearing over the surfaces. Rare as a denomination, and perhaps even rarer as a date, with this piece being the only example certified by either NGC or PCGS and no examples of the date surfacing in archived auction results that date back nearly two decades. As such, an important opportunity for the specialist that may not present itself again any time soon.
